For those of you who are into gaming, graphic designing or watching movies in high quality, you definitely need some hi - tech stuff to give you the real experience. Here is a list of what you need in order to make your machine 'hi - tech':

1. VGA

A good quality VGA (display) card is extremely important in order to really enhance your computing experience, whatever you plan to do on it. The higher the capacity of the VGA RAM, the faster and sharper your computer will be when handling high graphics programs. A 512 MB VGA (though expensive) is recommended for hi - tech users.

2. RAM

RAM is also integral for hi - tech users as the capacity of your RAM can determine how fast your computer will be (rather, how many programs your computer can handle at the same time without slowing down). By having a high capacity RAM, you'll really feel the difference compared to a low capacity one, as programs work at the click of a button, and you don't have to wait ages for the program to open. A 4 GB RAM is recommended.

3. Hard Disk

In order to store all those music, movies and TV shows, you need a hard disk with a large capacity. A good hard disk is also needed to install the really new games which use up a lot of graphics. A good hi - tech hard disk would be a 1 TB hard disk (1 TB = 1024 GB).

4. Audio Card

It's no point having a nice woofer and speakers all around the room if you don't have a good audio card. Yes, there is an audio card embedded in modern motherboards, but it just isn't sufficient enough to make full use of a high - tech speaker system. Therefore, make sure you get an audio card which suits the speaker set you have. 'AudioScience' seems to be the supplier of some really awesome sound cards.

5. DVD Drive

Last, but not least, you need a DVD drive which can read your DVDs at high speeds. This will make sure that the movies you are watching don't get stuck in between. It can really spoil what could possibly be a good experience. I'm not too sure about a good one, but make sure you visit a highly reputed computer shack so that they can give you the best advice.
